We speak Of death as the common lot:
but when its shadow falls across our
own threshold, we form acquaintance
with sorrow the most sorrowful, and

but very sad-recalls our loss never

she is in better hands than ours.

the darkest we've ever known.

place
MONTEREY, Cal, April 25.-The
arrest Of Edward T. Simmons in con.
nection with the burning Of the hotel
Del Monte did not cause surprise to
the people Of Monterey, as they have
looked to his arrest for several days
past. He was yesterday brought
down from San Jose. He was taken
before Judge Westfall and informed
of the charge pending against him.
Mr. Simmons stated that he desired
until to-day for preliminary hearing
al which time his counsel would be
ready to proceed. The evidence
against Simmons, is said to be very
strong, All circumstances point to
the probability that the whole matter
had been thought out by the person
to make a success of the scheme. The
man who set fire to the Hotel Del
Monte did so with the intention of
making a clean sweep and fully sue.

have of his guilt is not known, but it
is said by Chief Brown that they have
eye witnesses who will testify they

that when it was fouu that the books

ed that Simmons was $4,000 short in
his accounts. Another statement is
that at the time of the fire, when eve-
ry one was doing all they could to
save lives and property, Simmons was
walking around with his hands iD his
pockets, and when requested to lend
assistance, replied: I have nothing
more to do with this place
The Oil City Derrick of Tuesday
gives the following brief sketch Of
Simmons career in this section:
The Hotel Del Monte was very
popular resort. At the time of the
fire Captain j. J. Vandergrift and Mr.
j. j. Vandergrift, Jr., formerly of
this city, were stopping there, but es.
capped unhaEmed. Simmones, who is
charged with arson, was once we'll
known in this city. When he came
here be secured employment as book.
keeper in wholesale grocery house.
About II years ago he was employed
as bookkeeper in the Oil City savings
bank and in keeping the general and
individual books he often had access
to the counter. He falsi6ed his Ell.
tries to such au extent that when he
went away on vacation, Mr.. Steph.
ems found that he was embezzler in
the sum Of $6,20O. 1t was also
learned that he had defrauded a local
building and loan association, of
which be was treasurer, out of $4,000.
Simmons had gone to San Francisco
by sailing vessel, bnt the bank, at an
expense of $500, sent Officer Tom
Furlong after him. Furlong brought
Simmons back to Oil City aud the
prisoner was tried, convicted and sen.
fenced to the Western penitentary for
year and nine months. The bank
had recovered half their loss from
Simmons bondsmen. While in pris.
on his wife applied for a divorce,
which was granted. When Simmons
was released he went to the eastern
part of the state and married the
daughter of an editor Of a paper.
Then he and his wife went to Califor.
mia. The proprietor of the Hotel Del

Ii is only few years ago that one

of the world. That was the name Of
Morris Ranger a German, who to-day Is
to be buried in this city, where he has
lived for some time, little known. not
often seen in public. no longer powerful
in the speculative world. He came Ia
New York from Germany when young
man. and afterward represented an
American firm in Liverpool. Twice, on
his own account. he cornered th" cotton
crops of the world. and millions and mil
lions Of dollars went into his Golfers; at
last the cotton crop cornered him, and
his millions went flying away all at
once.
That was in Liverpool some four or
five years ago. His failure was the
greatest ever known in the Eastern mar
ket. and other big men and leading
houses went down with him. He did
not recover his financial position; his
spirit was broken, his health shattered
and returning 10 New York with com
paratively little fortune that he had
saved from the great wreck, he s%ttled
down To a quiet life and the attentions Of
the doctors. Sunday morning he died,
aged 53 years. and this morning his fu-
neral is Ia take place at his home. Nj

turers of the Pacific coast are protesting
energetically against the suspension of
the fourth section. so far a. it applies to
the trans-continental rates.
An application from the Southern Pa
